In the absence of Wnt-signals, beta-catenin is targeted for degradation via phosphorylation by a complex consisting of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)3beta, axin, and adenomatous polyposis coli protein (APC). Wnt signals lead to inactivation of GSK3beta, and thus stabilize beta-catenin levels in the cell which increase transcription of downstream target genes. In human melanoma, stabilizing mutations of beta-catenin have been found in a significant fraction of established cell lines. Importantly, in primary human melanoma specimens, almost one third display aberrant nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin, although generally without evidence of direct mutations within the beta-catenin gene itself In mammalian cells, Wnt-3a, was also shown to induce MITF expression"; prov:wasQuotedFrom pubmed:12235125 . sub:_6 rdfs:label "Selventa" . sub:assertion prov:hadPrimarySource pubmed:12235125; prov:wasDerivedFrom beldoc:, sub:_5 . } sub:pubinfo { this: dct:created "2014-07-03T14:30:05.958+02:00"^^xsd:dateTime; pav:createdBy orcid:0000-0001-6818-334X, orcid:0000-0002-1267-0234 . }
